Shock wave diffraction and reflection around a dusty square cavity

The diffraction and reflection of planar shock wave around a dusty square cavity is investigated nuerically, which is embedded in the flat bottom surface of a two-dimensional channel, and the induced gas-particle twophase flow. The wave patterns at different times are obtained for three different values of the particle diameter. The computational results show that the existence of particles affects appreciably the shock wave diffraction and cavity flow.
